Volvo never removed radar. You asserted that they had in the SPA vehicles and that is a false statement. They have moved the radar to different locations over the years, but have never removed it.
Radar still has limited reaction time. Moving the radar from top of windshield to the front of the vehicle only changes what the radar can see. The radar system still takes time to analyze the changing environment and respond. I doubt the newer cars will respond better to traffic conditions, however I suspect they moved the radar to the front of the vehicle to help with pedestrian collision avoidance. It seems like in the SPA 2022+ (depending on model year) vehicles that Volvo has implemented a newer system which is better at day and night pedestrial collision avoidance.
I do not expect to see significant improvements in current generation systems until Lidar becomes viable. Unless you are tesla who has spent the last decade training AI models with camera data.
